DNS Server
This is a special role that can be installed on any Server, except a server with the cluster component role. A DNS server lets you access services inside a VPC, and, when a VPN server is used, from outside the VPC as well, by local domain names in the local VPC domain zone.
What the DNS Server Does
Consider an example. Suppose a service cluster app has been created in a VPC with the local domain zone lan.shipops.cloud. The full domain name of this cluster is app.lan.shipops.cloud.
Assume that the cluster uses one system server with the IP address 10.0.6.14, or several system nodes with one virtual IP address. Also assume that the cluster provides two HTTPS services: one on the root domain and one on the storage subdomain.
Then, in the DNS server settings in SHIPOPS, add a record for each domain name:
| Domain | IP address |
|---|---|
| app | 10.0.6.14 |
| storage.app | 10.0.6.14 |
The first record provides access to the root service at https://app.lan.shipops.cloud; the second provides access to the second service at https://storage.app.lan.shipops.cloud.
